Dead Man's Switch + USB Kill Switch for Linux - Open source defensive security project

Project Overview

Sharing a project I've been building for the community: a defensive security toolkit for Linux focused on physical server protection.

Features

It includes:

  • USB kill switch - if the device is unplugged, LUKS keys are wiped and the system reboots
  • Dead man's switch - no heartbeat in 24h triggers wipe and reboot
  • Web-based manual kill switch with token authentication
  • USBGuard-based USB device control via web UI

Designed to run on a private network (Tailscale), with Discord notifications.
